Can you open the files in Banshee at all? Is this issue specific to importing with the library watcher, or does Banshee completely not recognize these files? Also, the log in ~/.config/banshee-1/ might be helpful.

Nautilus properties says its an h.264/AVC with AAC audio. It does not appear to be a 'watch folder' situation, because I dropped an xvid into my Video folder, and Banshee saw it right away.
